Bob Spotts,
I have a question, I breed for color in N. jonquilla and N. bulbocodium. This was a cross N. jonquilla (seed) X. ‘Brackenhurst’ (pollen). The first couple of years I got a miniature div 7 with good substance. This year I got this. It looks very much like Brackenhust and not very jonquil.

I congratulate you for getting this seedling. In the past, every time I placed pollen on N. jonquilla it seemed that I just got more jonquilla. So, I place jonquilla pollen onto cultivars instead. There are good reasons for getting more success that way.
Here’s my opinion: the seedling is more interesting than beautiful. Certainly it inherited a minimal amount of jonquil characteristics. It likely is triploid.
I’m always happy to respond, but If you want my opinion or answer to a question, I suggest that e-mail is a better mode of communication.
